U.N. climate talks have yet to deliver much for the world’s poorest people, who are already struggling with the impacts of extreme weather and rising seas. But on the ground, researchers and aid workers are getting on with the job of trying to help those communities protect themselves from climate shifts, and even improve their lives amid increasingly harsh conditions.

This debate, hosted by TRF’s AlertNet Climate site and IIED, will explore what actions and resources are needed, where and how, to support vulnerable groups in their efforts to adapt to climate change. It is taking place ahead of the 7th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (#CBA7) in Dhaka later this month, and will feed into discussions there.

Core questions:

To what extent can adaptation reduce loss and damage from climate change?

What are the most promising approaches for climate adaptation in different regions, and how do we scale them up?

Why is it so hard to get international climate finance flowing for adaptation?
